I would love the ability to customize the location of notifications so that I can set them on the bottom right corner instead of having them fixed to the upper right. Really hate how calendar notifications can hide my chrome extensions and many other things.
You two are the first people I've ever heard of complain about this issue.
I wish reminder alerts were triggered at the correct time or as soon as my Mac wakes from sleep, not hours later or even on the next day.
Or reminders that reliably synced across Mac/phones. It works _most_ of the time, but there's at least 4 or 5 times a week I open one of my macs and it reminds me to call my mother even though that was checked off my list.. four days ago.

Curious: (1) Do you have some screenshots demonstrating this issue and (2) perhaps an example PDF that others could download for the purpose of issue reproduction? (I have not seen this issue, nor am I able to reproduce this issue after repeatedly trying under Preview. I have compared it with on-screen rendering under Acrobat XI, as well.) // Preview 10.0 (944.5), macOS 10.13.4 (17E202), MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017)
Not the original commenter, but I've experienced > At 100% zoom level, the type is not rendered with crisp edges. It looks as if someone had applied a mild gaussian blur. Only once you zoom in, the outlines are sharp as they should be. a number of times. Running on a 12" (Retina) Macbook w/ macOS 10.13.4 and Preview 10.0 (944.5). 1) Here's a screenshot (100% on left, zoomed in on the right) - https://s3.amazonaws.com…

How about the option to remove the dock entirely? Spotlight and Launchpad are preferable alternatives for opening apps, Mission Control works way better for switching between apps, and the list of running apps can be stuffed into the top menu with a pulldown list that can display diagnostic info and give a nice way to switch-to or force quit. I hide the dock and keep it off to the side, as I find it more annoying tha…
Whereas I cannot stand Spotlight, Launchpad, or Mission Control. Any time I use a different machine, those are the first things that I completely and totally disable. For me, the dock and the menu bar are much better solutions than any of the above, and they are in the category of "if it ain't broke, don't bloody flippin' fix it!!!"
> Remove old junk like the Dashboard and DVD Player apps. Should just include those the app store as well. Not mentioned are the many years old bugs with multi displays and networking. I just want Apple to take a year and really fix all the core problems they've introduced. No more new features until the existing stuff works!
Dashboard also has some users, and it’s deeply integrated into the Dock.
The option to enable Windows-like click-through behaviour would be great.

It's an app to play music. How bad can it be?
It was an app to play music. I fear that is has been transformed into some amalgamation of an app/media store, a mobile device wrangler, one interface to your Apple ID account - and a lot of good features that now kinda are half broken. Lots of stillborn features too - wasn't there a music social media integration that went nowhere? It's not very light on memory usage, either. It was so nice to rip a CD, have it part…
So far, the stillborn features don't bother me that much.
It's heavy and should be lighter, with the features not being used quietly swapped out and remaining there - it seems like it's trying to reanimate the parts that are not in use all the time and that may be the root cause of the humongous memory footprint.
Moving the store and sync out would somewhat make things better, but Windows users would need to run 3 apps instead of one.
I’ll be happy if the only thing that ships with 10.14 is a bugfix for the Preview.app. It amazes me that they have not yet unfucked the PDF rendering with a minor release. It amazes me even more, that this issue is not present on the linked wishlist. Do people not view PDFs on their Macs?
I've never seen that

> why not go all the way and shrink it to the size of the 12" MacBook? Personally, I see the MBP as a hybrid use-case device, much like the Nintendo Switch: it throttles when freestanding (because it has nowhere to dissipate its heat to), but it runs more quickly when "docked." So you can use it for light things portably, and for heavy things at a desk. Unlike the Switch, there's no first-party dock for the MBP, but…

So you can use it for light things portably, and for heavy things at a desk. MacBook Pros throttle even on "docks". They can't magically dissipate more heat when stationary on a desk. > New companies need render-nodes, rig…
Given how frequently I catch my Macbook Pro leaving the fan at 0rpm even when the CPU is 180F, I suspect they're capable of getting rid of a lot more heat than they're permitted to at the moment.
Even forcing the fan to stay on with 3rd party tools just makes it bounce back and forth, once the CPU is no longer hot enough to burn your lap the fan completely turns off again and the cycle repeats.
I'd love to know why Apple thought it was a good idea to throttle and retain a ton of heat instead of turning the fan on, the end result is that the laptop is both hot and slow at the worst possible times.

The Preview PDF handling drives me mental too. Luckily it's not outright unusable for me, but it's still a pain. Buy Apple, they said... Apple always looks after the details :( Happens on both my Macbook Pros, too - a early 2015 13" (i7-5557U) with Sierra, and a mid 2014 15" (i7-4980HQ with discrete GPU) with High Sierra. The symptoms for me, with the proviso that I'm not in OS X right now to double check: 1. set Pre…
THIS drives me nuts.
